| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 12, 2009 Near-black pour with a frothy tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts and milk chocolate. Full bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is dark, roasted malts, coffee, chocolate... a recipe for bitterness but this one is smooth. Lingering milky chalikiness, lactose?, bit of citrus/orange hoppage towards the finish. Solid and tasty but I’m surprised it’s rated so high with so little complexity. kiefdog (1639), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 30, 2009 Very nice! Pours black with a decent light-brown head. Nice smoky aroma. Flavor is roasty, roasty, roasty! Appearance is beautiful with lotsa lacing, looks like tree rings on my glass. While not as thick & heavy as an Impy Stout, it is a bit heavy for a porter. Very glad to finally give this one a shot & will certainly buy again!
